PELPHREY, OF LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA; A. W.PELIPHREY ADMINISTRATOR 0F SAID JESSE. W, PELPI-IREY, DECEASEDDEODORIZER Application filed January 11, 1927. Serial No. 160,504.

This invention aims to provide a simple means for doing away withobjectionable odors which proceed from rendering tanks in establishmentswhich handle fish cleanings, and under similar circumstances.

It is within the province of the disclosure to improve generally and toenhance the utility of devices of that type to which the inventionappertains.

With the above and other objects in view which will appear as thedescription proceeds, the invention resides in the combination andarrangement of parts and in the details of construction hereinafterdescribed and claimed, it being understood that changes in the preciseembodiment of the invention herein disclosed, may be made within thescope of what is claimed, without departing from the spirit of theinvention.

In the drawings 1 Figure 1 shows in elevation, one way in which theinvention may be installed;

Figure 2 is an elevation of the device per se, parts being broken away;

Figure 3 is a section on the line 3-3 of Figure 2;

Figure 4 is a section on the line 4-4 of Figure 2;

Figure 5 is a diagrammatic view illustrating an installation whichdifiers from the one depicted in Figure 1.

In carrying out the invention as shown in Figures 2, 3 and 4, there isprovided a casing 1 including a box-like body 2 having a reduced lowerend 3, oppositely disposed glass inspection plates 4 being mounted at 5on opposite sides of the body 2 of the casing 1. The casing 1 issurmounted by a lid 6 which is held in place by securing elements 7. Aninlet pipe 8 enters one side of the body 2 of the casing 1, through apacking gland 9. To the inner end of the pipe 8 is connected the casing10 of a valve,.the valve casing having an outlet 11 which dischargesdownwardly, at right angles to the pipe 8. The stem of the valve ismarked by the numeral 12 and passes outwardly through a packing gland 14on the body 2 of the casing 1. The inner end of the valve stem 12 entersthe casing 10. On the outer end of the wheel 15. 7

Battle plates 16 are disposed parallel to the inlet pipe 8, but thebaffle plates slant downwardly and inwardly, to form a reduced slot 18,through which the outlet 11 of the valve casing 10 projects, As shown inFigure 4, the baffle plates 16 have notches in their lower edges toreceive the outlet 11. The battle plates 16 may be provided along theiredges with depending flanges 17 secured at 19 to the body 2. A waterpipe 20 enters the lid 6 and discharges downwardly. A discharge pipe 21is connected with the reduced lower end 3 of the casing 1.'

In practical operation, steam from a rendering tank or the like, ladenwith objectionable odors, enters through the pipe 8 and is dischargeddownwardly through the outlet 11, under the governance of the valve thatis operated by the stem 12 and the wheel 15. Water is discharged inliberal quantities through the pipe 20 and since the plates 16 converge,the water is held back enough, so that there is always some waterflowing downwardly around the discharge end 11 of the casing 10. Thesteam is condensed, and the water absorbs the odor in the steam, thewater flowing away through the pipe 21.

. The device may be used in a wide variety of ways. Thus, as shown inFigure 1, the pipes 21 may be connected to a header 22 which, in itsturn, is connected at 23 to a deodorizer 24 having an outlet 25, thesteam supply pipe for the deodoriz'er 24 being marked by the numeral 26,and there being a hand valve 27 in the pipe 26. If the deodorizer shownat 24 is used, a second deodorizing takes place, and the most retractorymaterials, so' far as odor is concerned, are taken care of adequately,and as the product leaves by way of the pipe 25, there is no appreciableodor. The deodorizer shown. at 24 is not described in detail because itmay be constructed by the device shown in the copending application ofJesse W. Pelphrey, filed May 8, 1924, Ser. No. 711,922, which hasmatured into Patent 1,710,590 of April 23, 1929.

The water pipes 20 are connected to a cross stem 12 there is a hand pipe28 that is joined to a main 29, there being valves 80 in the cross pipe28, on opposite sides of the main 29. The pipes 8 are connected withpipes 31 in which are located valves 32, the pipes 81 communicating withthe rendering tanks 33 in which the odor-laden steam is created. Theblow-off pipes for the rendering tanks 33 are shown at 34.

In the installation shown in Figure 5, there appears a fish cooker 36 towhich a T 37' is connected as shown at 38, the outlet appearingat 39 andbeing under the control of a valve 40. The T 37 is connected at 41 tothe pipe 8, the pipe 21 being joined to a header 42 in which isinterposed a deodorizer 43 of the sort hereinbefore alluded to.

The outlet 11 for the valve casing 10 extends downwardly below the loweror-inner ends of the bafiie plates 16, and because the inspectionplates4 are provided, the operator can see at any time that the discharge isproceeding through the outlet 11, the outlet being likely to be cloggedup by particles of fish scrap carried over through the pipe 8 with thesteam.

What is claimed is A structure of the class described, comprising abox-like main casing, inwardly and downwardly converging bafile platessecured in the main casing and extending from one side of the casing tothe other, the battle plates being spaced apartat their lower ends toform a reduced slot extended entirely across the casing, the casinghaving a tapered lower end provided with a water outlet, a removable lidon the top of the casing, a water inlet car- 1 ried by the lid, thebaffle plates being located between the lid and the outlet, the inletand the outlet being in line, vertically, with the slot, a valvemechanism including a valve casing disposed between the baflle plates onthe one hand, and the water inlet, on the other hand, the valve casingbeing located within o the main casing and having an. outlet whichdischarges in close relation to the lower ends of the batlie plates andbelow the slot, valve operating means accessible from the outside of themain casing and extended outwardly through the main casing from thevalve casing, and a pipe connected to the valvecasing and extended outof the main casing.

In testimony that we claim the foregoing as our own, we have heretoaflixed our signatures.
